The Wittmund Forest is a woodland west of the East Frisian town of Wittmund. Originally established as a coniferous forest, it developed over time into a mixed forest with a high population of beech trees. Today, the forest is a popular local recreation area. The Wittmund Forest is home to the Wittmund Forest Nature Conservation Association and the Hohehahn Nature Reserve.

With an area of approximately 730 hectares, the Wittmund Forest is one of the largest contiguous forest areas in East Frisia, a region that is generally sparsely forested. This makes it a unique landscape of great interest to locals and, as a home to numerous animal and plant species, fulfills an important nature conservation function. Parts of it are also used for forestry and thus also serve an economic purpose.

In the east, there is a larger proportion of older deciduous trees. The Wittmund Forest stretches approximately five kilometers in a southwest-northeast direction. In the west, it extends from the small settlement of Jackstede to the Wittmund district of Angelsburg. The B210 federal highway runs to the south. Where the Wittmund Forest is bisected by Upsteder Straße, it is at its widest point, approximately two kilometers long. The network of several forest roads and several hiking trails, especially in the eastern part of the Wittmund Forest, offers a variety of options for walking or cycling. Special features, such as a long avenue of sweet chestnut trees, otherwise rare in northern Germany, or a circular forest moor, a glacial pingo ruin, make the forest an interesting recreational area.
